REMNANTS
Patrick Eakin Young
A three-part auditory excavation, unearthing the songs and stories of love and loss, buried beneath the soil of post-war Bosnia.
Combining memoir and documentary, traditional Balkan music and new composition, Soundworlds’ first release is based on Courtney Angela Brkic’s The Stone Fields.
Drawn to Bosnia by her family history, Brkic joined a UN forensics team helping to excavate the mass graves at Srebrenica. Yet among the horrors of war, she discovered remnants of an extraordinary romance between her Catholic grandmother Angelka and a young Jewish man, forced into hiding by the Fascists.
Remnants delves through layers of sound, song and new spoken testimony from Brkic herself, finding traces of love and hope submerged in the darkest chapters of 20th-century European history.
Soundworlds presents a new audio adaptation of the 2017 production by Pat Eakin Young/ERRATICA.
Post-show discussion: Pat Eakin Young, Courtney Angela Brkic and Christian Mason discuss Remnants with Rachel Donnelly, Project Manager for the Second World War and Holocaust Partnership programme at the Imperial War Museum
